My local shop charged $9.95 ea, which I thought was a bit high, but he had them and I didn't.
From reading this forum, the pilot jets are not available anymore. I didn't even look for any.
Changing your needle clip setting, or shimming may be the only option for midrange jetting.

The el-cheapo option is to get a set of tiny drill bits and drill them. It's easier than you think, but you need a drill that has a chuck that closes down almost all the way. The cheap Menards tool-shop brand has a drill that works perfectly, and it's only $10 or $15.
The drill bits can be bought at various tool suppliers like Harbor Freight etc.
An in-between option is to get one of the various rebuild kits that come with jets and adjustable needles. (Some do, some don't.) They should be about $15 to $20 each X 4.

Cool loud; Thanks for the tip. I have bits down to about the diameter of a hair. The sets can be purchased in a neat little holder/organizer, from any jewelry or lapidary supply, or online. They will also sell you a nifty Grobet flex shaft grinder/polisher/drill with a Jacob chuck and foot control. They come in REAL handy, as does a visor with a #7 or #10 lens.....The el-cheapo option is to get a set of tiny drill bits and drill them. It's easier than you think,....

Stage 3 is for pod filters and aftermarket exhaust system.
If you buy a Stage 3, you'll get a Stage 1 kit in there too.

Question: I've still got my stock airbox, but 4-1 exhaust and stock jets - do I need to rejet? Should I go all the way like WG keeps suggesting with 2 steps on the mains and pilots? If so - what jets fit the CV TK-26s?
Do Keihins fit?
Lou - you have these on you GPzs, right? Or are they TK-27s..?
Oh..and how does the sizing of the micro drill bits work? a 61 would be .61mm? So if I have size 32 pilots, I need a 34 drill bit to up the size to .34mm? Same for the mains..a 120 main is 1.2mm?
After doing the coil mod, I notice that my bike kinda 'grunts' when I crank the throttle..it has a much louder/rougher sound to it than normal. I want to say it 'bogs' but it still pulls a lot..so it doesn't really lose power - I don't think anyways.
Thanks!
